Dss, I could send you the contact.php if you want to take a look.
About the hover comments… Do you mean the input and text areas or the actual comments themselves?
Actual comments hover is styled with:
ol#commentlist li:hover {
background:#ffffff;
}

Law,
The archives page is actually a work in progress because it won’t completely validate as XHTML Strict (I get one error because I am trying to cheat my way through poor knowledge of php). I can’t remember exactly where I got the code from but it was either from http://binarybonsai.com (search for archives.phps) or Laughing Lizard’s plugin. I just played around with the code so that it did just what it is doing. Again, if you want the php you can have it (and if you improve it maybe you would share). Just let me know.

indeed, the nicer archives are totally the way to go.
what i meant about the pop up hover descriptions was the pop up tool tips. when your pop up they are styled and look much better than the default.
how’d you do that?

Very nice. The areas that are particularly impressive:
– colors work very well together
– navigation is easy to follow / use
– content boxes, etc. are very clean and add to ease of use/reading
– blockquotes/quotes are really cool … like that a lot
– the front page vine going through the “Reflection | Comments” navigation is very cool, too
– shadow edges/slight bevel, also a nice touch and – it loads fast, actually … how neat!
One of my favs, so far … and I usually don’t like those that render in a narrow static column way … but this one is pretty! and easy to read! (narrow, of course, being a personal concept of what ‘width’ is actually narrrow)
Thanks for sharing it.
